An Unabashedly Heart-Warming Revival Provides Fine Debut For Davie's Issie Swickle As Annie
Why should you go to see Annie yet once again? First is that director Martin Charnin has banished a lot of the saccharine overkill and played the remaining cuteness and heart-tugging moments against a grimy, downtrodden Depression that should resonate today. Second, savor the national bow of Davie resident Issie Swickle as she nails the title role with the polish and chops of someone a lot older than her nine years.
